Redemption Figures Received - Your Conveyancer has received confirmation of the amount required to pay off your existing mortgage (if applicable).
Mortgage Deed Sent to Client - This is a legal document required by your new mortgage lender. You will need to sign this together with a witness, and return it to your conveyancer before the remortgage can complete.
Mortgage Deed Received Back - This is confirmation that your Conveyancer has received your signed mortgage deed back.
Completion Date Set - Once everything has been received and checked by your Conveyancer, they will set a date to complete your remortgage.
Case Completed - On the day of completion, your Conveyancer will receive the money from your new lender and use it to pay off your existing mortgage, the redemption fees and any administrative charges (if applicable). If you have decided to raise additional funds during your remortgage, the surplus fees will be paid to you at this stage.
